Jon joined Irwin Yacht Sales in 2013 and has over 33 years of boat/yacht selling experience. He’s been assisting the boating community since 1989 and has done thousands of transactions over those years, with many being with first time buyers.He worked for the largest Bayliner/Maxum/Meridian dealer (Olympic Boat Centers) in the world for 7 years as a Sales Manager at the Everett Store, GM at the Bellevue location and Yacht Sales at the Seattle waterfront location on Lake Union. He was awarded “GM of the Year” in 2007 (out of 20 locations on the West Coast) in his first year as a General Manager by exceeding the stores monthly goals, which were set by the corporate office, 10 out of 12 months in all departments in his store. More recently, he worked at the local Sea Ray dealer for 5 years, where he sold more boats every year than any other salesperson in the company, winning numerous awards along the way. Born and raised here in Washington, Jon grew up boating with his parents in the Everett area and enjoyed many summer trips to the San Juan Islands with them. He has continued that lifestyle with his wife and 3 children over the years, boating on the lake they live on, along with summer excursions to the islands. His passion for boating led him into the boat industry where he has built a great reputation on assisting clients thru the process of buying the proper boat for their needs. The majority of Jon’s clients purchased their first boat from him and many have become repeat buyers who have continued to buy bigger boats from him. Jon’s clients, who quickly become friends, like that he is always available AFTER the sale for assistance.Although Jon came to Irwin Yacht Sales with a vast knowledge of Sea Ray, Bayliner, Maxum, Boston Whaler and Meridian Yachts, his experience selling many other brands makes him an asset to his clients.
